Pleased to see the course has come through the wet winter very well, and currently has a good sole of grass, which will no doubt take a bit of controlling over the next month or so. Brian & Kieran have sprayed the fairways, so you will se signs of weeds turning their leafs up shortly.

Players a request from Richie, he has a new phone but no contacts, can you text him your name and number please, so he can reload them. Richie Gray 027 934 1999. Richie is also keen to hear from any member intending to go to Waipawa next week, not all players like a caddie, but he will match you with a willing player. I have received the draw today, so will take it to work tomorrow, scan it and send through to the team members.
Management Committee: Fixing the unseen. For those unaware, the flat roof on the upstairs part of the Club house is in urgent need of repair. Inspection last year found a refit was required. we have been successful in receiving funding from Pub Charity for close to $18,000 to repair this. Thanks to our funding committee for keeping these applications going in. Greatbatch Builders will be on the job in the near future
I think thats all the bits of paper for this week,
Best of luck for everyone involved in finals day. Good Golfing

Unfortunately, no one was able to ‘sink a hole in one’ and win the money. A big thank you to Mr Amrit Pasad and all the staff and students who helped to make this event a success. We would also like to thank the Dannevirke Golf Course, our generous sponsors and our community for entering the tournament and participating in the fundraising activities held on the day. All profits of this event will go towards our students’ sports travel." Special General Meeting; Thank you to the 55 members who turned out Monday night for the purpose of " Setting the annual member subscription fees for the 2026 / 2027 year. " The conclusion being the annual subscriptions for 2026 / 2027 is $665 for full playing members. The Management Committee acknowledges their error in not advertising this as an Agenda item at the AGM in December. Matter sorted, repeat of error to be avoided, move on. We are in the thick of Match Play golf with GHB Pennants and now Club Champs, and in April, the Coronation Cup. I hope all participants enjoy the experience. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
